Beau and Arrows (A Beau Brooks/Janoskians Story)

This Silent Night

 “Paige!” Tears streamed down Beau's face as he raced down the stairs. Jai followed after him, followed by Luke, followed by James and then Sally and Ariana who were forcing back tears as they raced down the stairs. Miss Grace hobbled onto the stage, petting her hair, her hands getting soaked by the steaming hot coffee on the floor. Tears streamed down her face, as she tried to bite them back. Paige was like her own daughter. She could see the lump forming on her head, she knew she was going to have a concussion. Mr Brannon hobbled onto the stage behind Miss Grace, calling her name and checking her pulse.

“Is.. is she breathing?” Beau asked, trying to choke back the tears.

“Yes.” Mr Brannon said, checking her pulse over and over again.

“Call an ambulance!” Beau shouted loudly, as Jai appeared on the stage. Jai nodded and pulled his phone out of his pocket. Beau was leaning over Paige, tears soaked her coffee-stained body. He kissed her all over a thousand times, hoping it was like the fairy tales where his princess would be awakened by a kiss. Wishful thinking. Her back was broken, he was sure of it, she was probably going to fall into a coma judging by the damage to her head. He lay down beside her, not caring that his jacket ws being soaked by coffee, not caring that he probably looked like an idiot in front of 50,000 spectators. Everyone else crowded around her, and let out a curse word in chorus.

“Leave! Everybody leave!” Miss Grace announced, after being handed a microphone. They all looked around for a second, wondering whether or not to move. “Leave!” She screamed. They scarped from the room, the harsh tone in Miss Grace's voice made them know she wasn't to be messed with. Beau scooped Paige up in his arms and carried her out, still shaking from tears.

“Beau.” Paige whispered, the sound barely escaping her mouth.

“I'm right here honey.”

“Hello?” Paige asked, confused. She saw a bright light, and prayed to God she wasn't dead. Her whole body ached as she sat up.

“Miss Arrows, I need you to listen to me very carefully. Lie down.”

“Do I know you?” Paige asked. There was a laugh.

“Paige honey, please lie back down.”

“Beau!? What's happening!? Is somebody hurt!? Is Sally having a baby!?”

“Just lie down.” He told her, and she felt a light kiss on her forehead. He made her relax, she knew she was safe. Whatever she was lying down on was hard, and as soon as she relaxed she wanted to get back up again.

“Paige, I'm Doctor Oldham. You were admitted to this ward by Doctor Sanchez about an hour ago.”

“Doctor Sanchez!!?!?!?” Paige exclaimed. She tried to get up but Beau held her down.

“Calm down honey, none of us saw him.”

“What's wrong with me?” She asked. “Am I going to die?” She swallowed hard.

“These results should tell us everything.” He said. She nodded as the room became clearer. She was in a hospital ward, lying on a thin matress of a single bed. There were so many people in the room; Gina, Beau, Luke, Sally, James, Jai, Ariana and Dana. The room was only small and the whiteness blinded her. Even the hair on the doctor's head was pure white. He was opening an envelope which she expected told the results of the tests she expected she had done.

“What did you say about Dr Sanchez?” Paige asked, sitting up.

“Let him see if you're ok first.” Beau sniffled. She could tell he had been crying.
